Why is it a problem that the project is unfinished?
If you really needed the tool, wouldn't you still be feeling the pain, which would presumably give you the incentive to finish it?
Maybe you just wanted the learning experience, not the finished project. I've started (and abandoned) scores of projects over the years. Some of them went nowhere. One of them actually turned out to be useful to some people even in its unfinished state, and became an active open source project that I have no involvement with. I don't feel bad about any of this.
